Seeking Feedback - How often have you used a Low Resistance Micro-Ohmmeter?

rscasny

If you have the time, I'd appreciate if you voted in this poll. I'd like to get a sense of your need and use of low resistance micro-ohmmeters. Thanks.

  • I can imagine them being extremely handy for measuring electrical contacts, such as relays to examine if they are failing, or for checking the resistance quality of shielding or grounding between different parts of a system or enclosure perhaps!

    I don't have a micro-ohmmeter, but do have a couple of milli-ohmmeters (one commercial one, and one that was a DIY project  Building Frank's Milliohm Meter   that is pretty accurate (and that one has the characteristic that it doesn't pass high current through the device under test [for some applications that's a very useful property, although other applications may not require that]); it can even be used to measure MOSFET on resistance.

    DC resistance is not always a good indication of shielding quality.
